About

Access to evidence-based psychosocial interventions, particularly Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), for youth with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is limited. An approach to increasing such access is to utilize trained paraprofessionals (Family Peer Advocates; FPAs) in the delivery of BPT, particularly through modalities, like telehealth, that further improve access and availability. This approach, FPA-delivered BPT via telehealth has yet to be studied. This study will evaluate the benefits of a FPA-delivered BPT for parents of children identified with ADHD in Developmental Behavioral Pediatric (DBPs).

Full description

There are two aims of the study: Specific Aim 1: To determine the benefits of a FPA-delivered telehealth BPT model on children's ADHD symptoms, oppositional behavior, functional outcomes, parenting behavior and parental stress. Specific Aim 2: Understand the shared decision making process between the parent, physician, and FPA within the Pediatric- Family Peer Advocate (PEDS-FPA) model through qualitative interviews.
